I have a love/hate relationship with Summer in NYC. On one hand, I love the blooming flowers, the longer sunny days, and dining outside in the evenings. But, NYC is also well known for it’s suffocating humidity. Thankfully, we have been experiencing a milder Summer so far, and some days have even been cool. On one of these cooler days, I met my best friend Debbie for lunch at Taverna Kyclades in Astoria. This Greek heaven usually has a line down the block, with people waiting for at least an hour on average to get in on busy nights. They don’t take reservations, and they don’t have to. It’s simply the best, most authentic Greek food in Astoria. They are also known for their extremely fresh fish, with the selection changing daily. If you’re in the Astoria, NYC area, definitely stop by!

I like cooler summer days. It gave me an excuse to wear my beige Theory coat. The color is perfect for Spring/Summer, and it’s just the perfect weight. Details on everything below!
